Divorce for Dummies

Rating:
Summary: OK for general information, not for individual states
Review: I prefer books that are state specific such as Texas Family Law Guide, Louisiana Family Law Guide, etc.

Rating:
Summary: Good overview
Review: Overall this book covers a lot of important topics with regards to the whole divorce process with good explanations and definitions. While some areas could have gone into more detail and perhaps provided some worksheets or step by steps guides, I don't think any (critical) issues were left out. While some other books I've seen stated the obvious and left you thinking "well duh"...this book had good information throughout.

Summary: Good for General Info...but Less than Thorough
Review: This book was helpful in the respect that it answered some general questions that we both had about the divorce process. It is good at explaining some of the legal aspects in ways that the average person can understand, but it could have expanded on the information a little more.

I think the authors spent a little too much time dealing with the emotional side of divorce, which I believe should have been left for a separate book....like "Divorce Support for Dummies".

If you are looking for a place to start...this is a good book. However, if you are looking for more meat and bones...there are more helpful books out there.
